Kindness POV

It was late at night when I woke up. I carefully slipped out from under him and gathered up my clothes.

Slowly, I limped to my room and got my stuff to take a shower. I didn't spend too long in there this time. Quickly got in and out. I went back to the kitchen and cleaned the mess. After I went back to my room, got under the covers and was fast a sleep.

I woke up to the sound of the alarm. I turned it off, made up my bed and got ready for school. I just threw my hoodie on and some pants, just trying to hurry and get out of here.

I went to the bathroom and my gaze fell on my self in the mirror. I had a bruise under my eye, a busted lip, and a bruised on my cheek. Dang, he got you good. I chuckled a little and put my hood on. It covered most of my face. I quickly brushed my teeth, got my stuff, and headed to school.

Once there, Blake, the new kid, and three others approaches me. What do they want? I'm not in the mood for these. Me neither. I ball and un-ball my fist.

"Hey kindness, what's up?" Blake say. I just shrug and keep walking.

"Why are you giving me the cold shoulder? I thought we were cool," I sigh. I should apologize. I stop walking and turn to face him.

"I'm sorry, I just had a rough day yesterday. So, who are y'all?" I say referring to the four guys standing with him.

"Oh, yeah, these are my friends: David, Leyon, Kevin, and Xavier." He introduce. They say some heys and what not. I give a short nod.

"Ok, now that's settled, I'm going to head to class."

"Alright, talk to you later?"

"Maybe."

With that, I walk to English.

~~~~~~~~~

I grab my food and sat at my table. I'm mind starts to wonder off to Jimmy. Is he going to be mad that I sneaked away? I mean I did have to go to school and I know he doesn't like to be woken up. I'm glad I didn't have to wake him up. I'm already sore enough. I don't know how long a can take theses. Just a few more months. I was too caught up in my mind that I didn't notice the guys taking a seat at my table.

"Kindness, Kindness" Leyon say while waving his hand in my face.

"Get your hand out of my face or you wouldn't have something to jurk off with." He quickly removes his hand.

"Ok meany," Leyon remarks.

"Gosh, your such a baby," I tease. He pouts. He is not really helping his case.

"No I'm not!"

"Whatever you say little baby." He glares at me and I chuckle.

"So you're not going to make us leave?" Kevin ask.

"I guess not. I don't know, maybe if y'all start to get on my nerves." I give them all a look that they didn't see hence my hood.

"Got it." They say at the same time. I just shake my head. What am I getting myself into.

"We - Me, Leyon, Kevin, Xavier, and Blake - are the first to sit here! This cause for a celebration!" David shouts loud enough for the whole cafeteria - and maybe parts of Asia - to here. I start to laugh at his foolishness.

"You... Are so... Stupid." I say in-between laughs.

"Well, I wanted to whole world to know." David states factly. I just roll my eyes. He's dumb, but you got to love him.

"I think this is the longest you have every smile. You should do it more often." Kevin says with a wider smile. I just smile back. If you keep this up, your face will get stuck. You might become the next Joker. Ha, ha!

For the rest of the lunch period we just chatted
about random stuff. They asked me to come to the party, but I said no again. After I yelled at them about it, they dismissed the subject. Xavier added his two cents in once and awhile, but was mostly quiet. I turn to him.

"I'm sorry for going all psycho on you the other day. I was in a bad mood and I took it out on you. I apologize." He just smile. Is this all these guys do?

"It's ok, don't worry about it." I nod and grin back.

~~~~~~~~~

The bell rang and school was over. Being that I'm always alone, I forgot that the guys were walking with me and zoned out. Why is Jimmy so sexually interested in me? He is about in his mid thirties and could probably get whatever girl he wants, but he chosen me. I don't-

"Earth to Kindness..." Xavier say. I blink, shake my head, and turn around.

"Sorry, kinda zoned out. I forgot about you all for a second. Well, see you later, have a nice rest off your day." Before I walk off, Kevin stops me.

"You know, you aren't as bad as people claim you are. I'm sorry it took this long for us to even speak to you." I smile.

"It's ok, plus it is my fault anyway. I tend to push people away. I have to go, but see you around."

"Ok, bye." They wave and I speed off to the house.

I slowly walk into the house to see Jimmy standing there with a smirk.

"What, you thought I was going to let you sneaking off to school side! You should've had told me goodbye so something! Now I have to teach you a listen! It's like you like to be punished!" He slaps me across my face hard and I fall to the ground. He comes towards me and continuously punch and kick me. He grabs my hair (which was in a bun) and throws me at the wall. Once I fall on the floor, he drags me to the basement and throws me down the stairs. I land on my face with a thunk. I try to get up, but the pain was so unbearable that I fall back down. With a groan, I try again and this time I was able to drag my body to a wall to lay against it. I feel super dizzy and drift off to sleep.

I open my eyes to see the light was on and Jimmy was standing infront of me. I bit I'm tongue to hold in a smart comment, which he truly deserves. He grabs a knife and approaches me with a crazy eye. I stare blankly at him. This isn't my first rodeo. He grabs my arm and cuts two long lines on it. I just watch him do it with no reaction. I guess my body was too adapt to that type of pain. He grabs my other arm and does the same thing.

"So you don't want to react, ok." After that he pins me down and starts to rapidly slice at my stomach. Now there's the pain. I try to get away, but fail. He grabs the rope beside him and begins to tie my hands together.

The door bell rings.

"Well, who's the lucky bitch. I'll be back."

He let me go and runs up stairs, locking the basement door. I lay frozen on the floor.

What was he about to do to me? Who is at the door? After, what seems like forever, he came back down stairs.

He decides to leave me tied up on the floor of the basement. My mouth was taped shut, my shirt was torn in rags, my pants has holes in them - from were he cut my legs. I actually like these pants. I sigh and stare at the steps.

Crap!

I was suppose to go hang with the boys tomorrow. How am I going to tell them? I can't. I sigh again and continue to stare at the steps. How long is he going to leave me down here?

I woke up to the basement door opening. Jimmy came running down the steps.

"How did you sleep?" I just stare at him. Did he forget that your mouth is taped shut? He chuckles.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot." He rips the tape of my mouth.

"Wonderfully," I say sarcastically. He glares.

"Did you not learn your lesson?" Crap.

"I'm sorry, I did, please."

"I don't think you did."

He beats me for another hour.

After he was done, he untieds me and told me to leave. Something along the lines like "I don't want to see you face until tomorrow." He didn't even give me time to change. Lucky I have my hoodie, which I grabbed on my way out. I decide to call Blake and tell him I can't hangout today.

"Hey Kindness, when should we pick you up?"  Blake ask.

"Umm, about that... I kind of have to take a rain check." You can hear the tiredness in my voice.

"You ok?" Blake questions.

"Yeah?" I didn't mean for it to sound like a question. "I, I mean I'm sure, I'm fine, I mean."

"Give me a good reason not come to your house. You can't blow me off that easy." He state. To bad I'm not there and he doesn't know my address... I think.

"Firstly, you don't know my address and secondly I just can't ok. See you later." With that a hung up.

I ended up at a park. I sat down at a tree fell a sleep. My last thought was...

What did I do to deserve these?
